a sketchy background . . .
My writing career began at the tender age of 18 in St Louis, Missouri when a friend of mine double dared me to do the open mic night at the only comedy club in town. Below you can relive the embarrassment of that faithful Tuesday in 2009. For me stand up started with warm, Midwestern audiences and an optimistic attitude, but only lasted for a brief stint when I moved to New York City for school. However, stand up became improv, and then sketch writing, and after performing with a few different groups, I found my imagination often crafted stories and characters that were too complex to fit into a few pages or a single shtick. With the guidance of some excellent professors, grad students, and fellow writers I honed my craft over a mixture of writing courses at NYU and soon found myself with all kinds of short stories, plays, film scripts, comic books, outlines, and ideas. Apparently I have a lot to say and I've been writing ever since.
